Dude now you look like a school of fish on the top of water lol but looks cool. I hope it's easy to keep clean and doesn't feel tacky after it dries.

Hhahah!

Put some of this stuff on the keel points that are going to rub when you're dragging it on the beach.

I did something similar to one of my surfboards a few years ago after I had a huge repair to do.

I did mine in March of 2009. It's scratched up and worn off at the rear of the keel but still looks pretty good.

board looks nice, I hit the yak with 180 g paper, after a cleanning, I might try to find a clear sealler that would work with the krylon fusion paint I used

How about paint the kayak to look like a shamu ?
I heard sharks don't mess with Shamu, especially with a half open painted mouth full of sharp teeth. :D

I considered the shamu, but I figure at that size I would look like a baby so a white may want eat me just for revenge
